Summary
Ann doesn’t stop, just pulls out her keys and fumbles with the lock, jaw set tight. Catherine huffs out a breath, frustration curling hot in her gut, and strides up behind her, reaching out to catch Ann’s wrist before she can push the door open.
“Would you just talk to me?” Catherine snaps, her voice sharper than she intended.
Ann whirls around, eyes flashing with something fierce and wounded all at once. “Jesus, why do you care?”
The question makes Catherine stop short, like she’s been punched in the chest. “What?”
Ann huffs, shaking her head, her expression twisting into something bitter. “Forget it.”
She tries to turn back to the door, but Catherine doesn’t let go, keeping her grip on Ann’s wrist firm but not tight. “Ann.”
Ann goes still, and for a moment, they just stand there, inches apart, Catherine’s hand on her wrist like a tether holding her in place. Ann’s breathing is uneven, her eyes fixed on the ground, and Catherine can feel the way she’s trembling, just faintly.

Post series 2, but before the final graveyard scene.
It really has been a rough couple of days and Catherine needs to process it somehow, and everyone has the same idea until it's late and he's not there anymore."Daniel rang." Richard began, Catherine nodded but seemed to sense that Richard wasn’t finished with his explanation. "Then Clare," that made sense too Catherine thought, "and Joyce had rung before either of them." That surprised her.

Catherine had never really let anyone in after her divorce. Keeping people at an arm's length was how she kept going. If no one got close no one could hurt her. That was until Ann Gallagher came crashing into her life. They had bonded over trauma but now they were something more. Something Catherine isn't quite sure what to do with.
